4 KGS LOST in 6 days!!

Yesterday was day 6. I didnt post abt day 5 cos there didnt really seem to be anything new or exciting that happened.

the good - Im feeling energized, revitalised, my skin has cleared and is glowing, my eyes are bright white (got 2 compliments in one day) my nails are growing very rapidly and my blood circulation seems to have improved.

I have lost 4ks - very excited abt this - my jeans/clothes fit better.

the bad - I get cold easily, it doesnt help that its winter.

the in between - normally im a person who can sleep forn 24 hrs in a day, wake up for an hour and go right back to sleep for another 24 hrs (yeah thats a lot of sleep indeed, agreed and no im not narcoleptic :D ) but i find that i need less sleep. these days my sleeping hours have come down from 12 to 8. I have more time to persue my interests.

the interesting - the last time i did the cleanse i got sick quite a bit with detox symptoms like headaches, nausea, iritability and a whole host of others, this time, ive had very few detox symptoms and when they did come around they lasted less than half an hour. Cld it be that my system is not as polluted as i had imagined? *good to know*

skin looking fab and 4 ks down!

The exciting - i feel my journey to lose 10ks is going to be successful. The weight lloss isnt as rapid as the first time around, it might take longer than 10days but it will be easier to do because Im not as sick with toxins.

Plus i wore my fav shoes - just to add a bounce to my mood ;)

im outa here china's :*

Blues: Master cleanse day 4

Yesterday I went to bed thinking the worst was over. Not quite. Today Im experiencing bad headaches and a bit of dizziness. weighed myself and Im still on 68k's, nothing lost in the past day. Todays not a good day but im keeping my spirits up. Im thinking of introducing light excersice like walking. I hope tommoro turns out better.

Master Cleanse Day 3

So far the master cleanse is going smoothly.

I woke up nice and early, made my salt water flush and downed the stuff. eeew!! that didnt go down too well. my body shivered from the flavour. I think im going to substitute the salt water for herbal tea. They say salt water is more effective but yeeeeerrrrrr i dont think i can do it much longer without throwing it up. Yesterday, i had a bit of nausea which lasted for 10 min but after that I was fine. My teeth were also heavily quoted with plaque and my breath not so pleasant. note to self*start carrying a toothbrush around*


On the brighter side, I have been experiencing increased energy already, was able to sleep normal hrs and woke up in time to get ready for work. Happy to say, I am not feeling lethargic yet.

When I weighed this morning I was 68k's.

2 Kgs down already - in two days - Whoopie**

The first 3 days are usually the hardest and if you can make it past day 3, your chances of completing the cleanse are HIGH!!

As im on day three, i feel motivated, inspired and determined to complete the cleanse.

My eyes are a little bit dazed :(

TO ALL MY FRIENDS STARTING ON MONDAY - LETS DO DIS COS WE CAN *WHOOP*

MASTER CLEANSE ingredients and programme

Ok - for those who've been asking here goes:

*** Master Cleanse/Lemonade Diet Recipe
"2 Tbsp lemon or lime juice (approx. 1/2 lemon)
2 Tbsp genuine [organic grade B] maple syrup (not maple flavored sugar syrup)
1/10 Tsp cayenne pepper (red pepper) or to taste
water, medium hot [or cold if preferred] (spring or purified water) - you can also simply use boiled water.

Maple syrup can be hard to find in South Africa, if you do find it its also very expensive So you are able to substitute it with MOLASSES - yes that black thick thing thats made of pure sugar cane.

Molasses has additional benefits too. For example the last time i was on the cleanse, I noticed that my hair grew extra fast and extra thick, so did my nails. That was the molasses in action.

So guys, LETS DO THIS!!!

This is what you do:
You mix the ingredients as above and drink 6 to 10 glasses a day.
AS EASY as that!
in the morning you make a salt solution called THE SALT WATER FLUSH and drink that to cleanse you body of the toxins asits detoxifying.

This is how u make the solution: 1 spoon UNiodated salt (ul find in the salt section of the shop)
Before you sleep, drink a cup of herbal tea with senna leaf / BLACKFOREST tea qualifies - any flavour.

Ure also allowed a cup of herbal tea during the day.

Drink lots of water - to get rid of the toxins, this will also help with the dexofication symptoms.

Lets go!!!

Weight loss - The master cleanse / day 2

Ive decided to do the master cleanse to lose weight. Im planning to loe 10 Kg's. The master cleanse has worked for me before. The last time I did it was for 10 days after my son was born. I lost 10 k's in 10 days. Im hoping for the same results.

Today Im on day 2.

Woke up tired as hell, exactly at the time Im supposed to leave the house for work. Grabbed my master cleanse mixed ssolution and a few green tea teabags and dashed out the house.

interesting to say, my jeans fit a little better this morning so there usual struggle of dressing was minimised. Will post a progress pic, later.

Motivation for the make over

This is me on a reecent road trip.

I look at the pics i took on this trip and think to myself, "mmm, not bad" can i look better, I ask? YES. And that is the reason for this project.

I currently weigh 70kg's, Im 5'2 in height (approximately nicole richies height). That giives me a bmi of 29 which, needless to say is in the "overweight range"

i dont like being overweight - end of story!

So the goals for this project are to get a total IMAGE MAKEOVER.
1. lose weight
2. get lean
3. look and feel great.

Im going to start with 1. the weight loss.

This is me on a recent road trip to Cape Town.
